IN SHORT
- Not general rubbish.
- Not the blue recycling bin.
- Use ALBA’s e-waste collection. If it’s damaged, tell them upfront first.

not general rubbish, not blue bin
ask maker or authorised service how to dispose
or ALBA e-waste collection. damaged one, tell them first
pack still not going in the blue bin
Moving day, bin still wrong
Dead pack, moving day, bin sign with 19 arrows. The answer is still the same: not general rubbish, not the blue recycling bin. A pack that looks fine isn’t household rubbish either.
Hand it to ALBA’s e-waste collection. If it’s damaged, tell them upfront first.

Old pack, unknown cells
Very old, the cell model unknown, and it looks damaged. That doesn’t change the answer: ALBA’s e-waste collection, and tell them upfront it’s damaged.
“Must throw” is how we say a pack is retired in the workshop. It doesn’t mean the rubbish chute.
Damaged pack? Ask before moving it
Don’t ride with it, courier it or carry a hot, leaking or damaged pack to a shop. Ask the maker or authorised service first.
Clearing a room, moving house or emptying storage is when these turn up. Finding the pack doesn’t answer how it travels, so ask before you move it. Hissing, smoking or getting hotter on its own is not a disposal question: read Battery fire? You got about one minute.
Looks fine, still not blue bin.
What now
Not general rubbish, not the blue recycling bin.
Hand it to ALBA’s e-waste collection. If the pack is damaged, tell them upfront, ask whether and how they can take it, and follow their instructions.
Don’t ride with it, courier it or carry a hot, leaking or damaged pack to a shop. Ask the maker or authorised service first.
